Finding God's Life in Connection

SUMMER PLAYLIST VOL. 2

Finding God's Life in Connection
Pastor Aaron Sutherland  

SERIES SCRIPTURE:

JOHN 15:11 "I have said these things to you so that my joy will be in you and your joy will be complete."

I. GOD’S FAMILY IS ESTABLISHED UNIQUELY
Romans 12:4 "We have many parts in one body, but the parts don’t all have the same function.  In the same way, though there are many of us, we are one body in Christ, and individually we belong to each other."

II. GOD’S FAMILY IS EXPRESSED GENEROUSLY
Romans 12:6-8a  "We have different gifts that are consistent with God’s grace that has been given to us. If your gift is prophecy, you should prophesy in proportion to your faith. If your gift is service, devote yourself to serving. If your gift is teaching, devote yourself to teaching. If your gift is encouragement, devote yourself to encouraging. The one giving should do it with no strings attached. The leader should lead with passion. The one showing mercy should be cheerful."
 

III. GOD’S FAMILY IS EXPERIENCED HONESTLY
Romans 12:9-11 "Love should be shown without pretending. Hate evil, and hold on to what is good. Love each other like the members of your family. Be the best at showing honor to each other. Don’t hesitate to be enthusiastic—be on fire in the Spirit as you serve the Lord!"
